    Good wheel balancing in the area

    Anyone know where I can get some 20's balanced right in the Northend-heck even Seattle or Eastside. I had 20's put on my AWD couple weeks ago and Les Schwab has tried 3 times with no luck. Have a steering wobble in 50-60mph range that isn't there lower and higher speeds. It is a pain and I'm loosing faith that any good mechanics are in existance. Thinking with the higher offset and larger rims they can't quite get it right. Each time they say "oh it is off quite a bit, should be good now", it gets less each time, but still there noticeably.

    Might even be able to make the April M&G in Marysville-just 10 minutes away.

    I had mine done by Discount tire direct (web purchase), but then got a flat. Had it repaired and of course balanced, by Discount tire (shop). (actually twice - they scratched the wheel, and so they ordered another one, so, 2 balance jobs by one store) I've had no issues at all. But I know you're a long way from Federal Way. Who knows if they all would be the same.

    The guys here at Formula Tire in Marysville have always treated me really well. They do a lot of performance stuff including cars that race at monroe. I drag race with Dave the Manager.

    Check out Discount Tire on 199th and Aurora in Seattle. Ask for Del Swan and tell him the issues you've been having, he'll take care of ya.

    I ran into Dave, the manager of Formula Tire today at the track and he said that the Discount Tire in Everett has a road force balancer, so that may be a good option as well.

    The guys at Discount Tire on Evergreen did the trick! Road Force balancers are the way to go. The tech even found that one tire was heavier than the others, so all in all a great experience.
